3-YEAR-OLD CHILD OF MUSLIM CITIZEN BARRED FROM U.S.
CAIR-MD/VA asks officials to expedite family reunification
(HERNDON, VA, 6/12/07) - The Maryland and Virginia chapter of the
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MD/VA) today called on
immigration officials to explain why a three-year-old child of a
father who is a U.S. citizen and a mother who is a permanent resident
is being denied entry to this country.
CAIR-MD/VA representatives say the child has been denied entry to the
United States for the past two years. They suspect the denial may be
related to the child's name, "Ahmed Yasinne," which is similar to that
of a Palestinian leader assassinated by Israel.
The child's father, who lives in Falls Church, Va., came to the United
States from Morocco in 1997 after winning the U.S. immigration
lottery. He became a citizen in 2005. His wife was granted permanent
residence status in 2006. For the past two years, the child has been
living with an aunt in Morocco while the immigration approval process
has been stalled.
Many Muslims say they are facing similar issues with the slow pace of
immigration name checks.
A recent article in Arizona's East Valley Tribune stated: "Although
government officials say the name checks do not target people of
certain races or religions, many in the Muslim community feel theirs
are the majority of the names that produce 'hits' in the database.
Immigration lawyers say the bulk of their clients who come seeking
legal assistance because of security checks are of Middle Eastern
descent."

"We call on relevant government officials to explain why this child
remains separated from his parents and to expedite the reunification
process," said CAIR-MD/VA Civil Rights Manager Morris Days. He says
the parents are devastated by the forced separation from their child.
CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 33 offices
and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to promote
justice, enhance the understanding of Islam, and empower American
Muslims.
